Windows XP Tips: Retitle Internet Explorer

By  default,  Internet  Explorer's  title  bar  shows  the  name  of  the  Web  site  you're viewing,  followed  by  "Microsoft  Internet  Explorer"--or  in  some  cases,  your company's name or the name of the ISP that supplied the browser.

 To change the repeating text in IE's title bar (or to get rid of it altogether), navigate to and select HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main in the Registry Editor, and double-click the Window Title icon in the right pane. (If you don't see this icon, right-click in the pane, choose New, String Value, type Window Title, and press <Enter>.).

 Type what you want to see on IE's title bar, or type nothing to show only the site name. Note that the hyphen that normally separates the site name from the page title will remain. When you relaunch Internet Explorer, you will see the change.

Bonus Tip: Hack Your BIOS for Faster Startups

You can speed up your startup procedures by changing the BIOS with the built-in setup utility. How you run this utility varies from PC to PC, but you typically get to it by pressing the Delete, F1, or F10 keys during startup. You'll come to a menu with a variety of choices. Here are the choices to make for faster system startups:

Quick Power On Self Test (POST)  When you choose this option, your system runs an abbreviated POST rather than the normal, lengthy one.

Boot Up Floppy Seek  Disable  this  option.  When  it's  enabled,  your  system  spends  a  few  extra  seconds looking for your floppy drivea relatively pointless procedure, especially considering how infrequently you use your floppy drive.

Boot Delay  Some systems let you delay booting after you turn on your PC so that your hard drive gets a chance to start spinning before bootup. Most likely, you don't need to have this boot delay, so turn it off. If you run into problems, however, you can turn it back on.
